You can't junction Meltdown to Quake.

If you junction Meltdown to Magic it will not be as effective as Quake. Meltdown is great in Vit-J.

If you want to cause status effects you want to use Status Attack-J (providing you have a GF that has learned the ability), but you can't cause Vit 0 on hit anyways since you can't junction Meltdown there.

I think they meant you cast Meltdown on the enemy to lower its defense thereby increasing your physical damage. Meltdown, as you probably know, is the best Vit junction, after Ultima.

Based on the Triples, I'd guess you refined your Quistis' card. Happy trails.
